[5][6] The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the flamingo subfamily, part of the cadherin superfamily.

The flamingo subfamily consists of nonclassic-type cadherins; a subpopulation that does not interact with catenins.

It is postulated that these proteins are receptors involved in contact-mediated communication, with cadherin domains acting as homophilic binding regions and the EGF-like domains involved in cell adhesion and receptor-ligand interactions.
